It gets information from the server with its further distribution to users in accordance with their rights. Operations in the system are carried out via webQUIK web application or iQUIK X and QUIK Android X mobile applications.

webQUIK, iQUIK X and QUIK Android X user access is ensured via the encrypted HTTPS-connection to safeguard confidential information exchange between the server and the client.
